AHCJ, with the support of the California Health Care Foundation, provides financial assistance to journalists who wish to attend AHCJ’s annual conference. Fellowships are open to full-time California print, broadcast and online journalists and part-timers or freelancers who derive the majority of their income from journalism.

Fellowship includes:

  • Conference registration 
  • One year’s membership in AHCJ (new or extended)
  • Up to four nights hotel (Tuesday to Friday nights, leaving Saturday)
  • Travel assistance within the continental U.S.
    • We budget approximately $500 for an economy flight and ground transportation. If selected as a fellow and $500 is not sufficient to travel to Minneapolis, please contact Susan Cunningham, AHCJ’s event manager, at susan@healthjournalism.org prior to booking.
